Apparently, someone is using my email address to spam viruses to people. I have received 40 notices since last night that my hotmail account has been behind emails containing viruses. I have alerted the appropriate Abuse departments after running the IP addresses through Sam Spade.

I’ve been getting the same messages. How do I go about finding out where it came from?

It’s happening to all of us. There was a really bad outbreak of the Sobig.F virus yesterday – one of those ones that spoofs the “From:” address from the cache or outbox (or both). I’ve received several on my *work* address even though I never, ever put that on the web anywhere.
